Article of The Week. 10/23/17

The article in question is 'Personal Health; A  Bully's Furture, From Hard Life to Hard Time'. Bullying is a serious issue at CSS, and without proper care, it will go on without a hitch. I see many connections towards this issue, and the Lord of The Flies novel. Many characters in the LOTF book pick on a larger character, mostly by calling, and addressing him, as a name the bullies at his school once called him, 'Piggy'. Many of the other kids also refuse to listen to him, because of his size. I believe we are like this because of the human condition. Many humans have ways to cope with their issues, but some do not. Those that do not, often vent their problems onto other children, instead of counselors, or teachers. We need to crack down on bad parents, and send their children into better homes. Bullying is truly awful. As the California University Researchers reported, "Victims who bully others also best fit the profiles of seriously violent offenders."

Book Response 10/24/17

The Lord of the Flies book is actually quite boring.I can't follow this book, and i'm not quite sure what is happening at any given moment. The words used in this book are extremely old english, and I find myself getting lost. I could not think of a reason for this man to earn a nobel prize in literature. I have no idea what this book even represents on a base level. I believe this book represents what a lack of leadership would get you, though i'm not sure. I'd assume this book won a nobel prize because of the 'shock' value, but that is all I've got.

What is The Science Behind Fear? Article of The Week 10/30/17

This article is really well written.  Out of the two prompts given on the article, i'm going to have to write about the first one.  The first prompt reads "Respond to at least one quotation from this article by making a connection".  My relation would be from the quote "Researchers placed the subjects on a platform that had plexiglass just beyond it's edge to it to see how many of the subjects would actually step over the "visual cliff"."  I relate to this because I really want to walk off a cliff. The CNN writers really outdid themselves.  Stay yellow minion lovers. -Logan
